EMSAM...IS INSOMNIA A COMMON SIDE EFFECT?

Posted by Crazy Horse on May 31, 2006, at 16:40:41

After having severe insomnia on Parnate for nearly 5 mos. the last thing i want is another med that causes insomnia. So my question is mostly for those who are currently or have taken EMSAM, is insomnia a side effect that most people get while taking this med? If the answer is yes, is it severe enough that a sleeping medication is needed? And, if anyone is on EMSAM, but was previously on Parnate or Nardil, is the insomnia as bad as it is/was with the other meds mentioned?

My concern is that if i stand a good chance of getting "severe" insomnia w/EMSAM like i had on Parnate...at least 2 nights a week where i didn't sleep at all, then i don't even want to try it. Seriously, as much as i would hate to have to do so, i would go back to ssri's, snri's and TCA's before going through the HELL of frequent insomnia again!

Your imput is very much appreciated.
